It's a good thing that those brits are tight on what goes out / comes in.
It would be a real horror if that shipment of toothbrushes made it in from Japan.

"C" and Abu Rideh were among a dozen foreign nationals held indefinitely without charge or trial . . .

Funny. Posting that did nothing for me /shrug

I, for one, am willing to bet a dollar that top-ranking european allies knew as well.

Aye I'm sure.
But it's nice to see a few muted Yanks on this board.

Your horses giving you a little trouble?

Not only knew, but probably participated in some cases. Sanctions on Iraq were a joke.

BTW, these "intelligence" reports were from the same people who were convinced Saddam had hidden stockpiles of WMDs in Iraq. We all know how *that* turned out.

I saw a report today that listed the 61 countries involved with the oil-for-food scam. Yes, the US had some companies involved. About 1% of the total in fact. The largest benefactors? China, Russia and France. Imagine that.
